Explain how to divide 3/4 ÷ 3/8 by using reciprocal of 3/8

1 answer:

5 0

The reciprocal of 3/8 would be 8/3 (basically reversing the numbers).

When dividing fractions, you can just multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction instead of dividing by the second fraction.

3/4 ÷ 3/8

= 3/4 × 8/3

Simplifying gives us the final answer:

= 2

Let me know if you need any clarifications, thanks!

meriva

Answer:

59.0 miles per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

When you have an equation with an absolute value, you must consider two options: one with a positive result and another one with a negative result.

$x-55 = 4.2\\x = 4.2 + 55\\x = 59.2\\\\And\\\\x-55 = -4.2\\x=-4.2 + 55\\x = 50.8$

In this case you need the maximum safe driving speed which is 59.2 miles per hour
